"My husband wants to marry her," Mirren said, speaking of hubby Taylor Hackford, the film director and USC graduate. "I'm much more argumentative
than she is." Mirren donated the gown, which she wore to an award show in 2008.

Our thoughts couldn't help but drift back to January's Golden Globe Awards, at which James Cameron was rocking his best impersonation of Mirren's hairdo. Dare we say, wax or no wax, the dame wears it much better.
